Abstract

New research from The Work Foundation shows that, once again, as in the last recession, low skill cities are struggling the most with unemployment. With a focus on 12 UK cities, the research shows which groups are most affected, explaining why some cities are suffering more and highlighting what could change their future prospects. The 12 cities studied in the UK report are Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Chelmsford, Derby, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Oxford and Swindon
